Winner of an unprecedented 11 Academy
Awards® in 1959, Ben Hur is a landmark in
epic filmmaking. The film has undergone a $1
million restoration – frame by frame using an
8K scan of the original 65mm negative, making
it Warner Bros. highest resolution restoration to
date. Charlton Heston brings a physical and moral
presence to his Oscar® winning role of Prince
Judah Ben-Hur. His heroic odyssey includes
enslavement by the Romans, vengeance against
his tormentors, and fateful encounters with Jesus
Christ. The restoration is a ‘must’ to see on the
big screen. (2K DCP presentation)
